Figure (I) is an intricate zigzag pattern arranged inside a square. We need to rotate this whole pattern by 45 degrees in the clockwise direction and pick the option that matches the rotated result exactly.
P: The overall outline is turned close to the correct diamond orientation, but some of the fine zigzag teeth inside point in a direction that does not match a pure 45 degree clockwise turn of figure (I); a few teeth appear mirrored instead of rotated.
Q: The square outline of figure (I) is turned so its corners now point up, down, left, and right, forming a diamond, exactly what a 45 degree turn should do. Every zigzag tooth inside keeps the same shape as in figure (I), just turned by the same 45 degrees, with nothing flipped or mirrored.
R: The diamond outline looks right at first glance, but tracing the inner zigzag path shows a few teeth have swapped positions compared to a clean rotation of figure (I), which would not happen under a simple rotation.
S: The pattern here is turned by a different angle, not 45 degrees, since some of the straight edges of the original square are still visible instead of being turned fully into a diamond corner.
A rotation only turns a shape; it never changes its size, mirrors it, or reorders its parts. Only option Q keeps every part of the zigzag pattern in the same relative place while turning the whole figure by exactly 45 degrees clockwise.
Let's summarize:
A correct rotation keeps every internal detail in the same relative order, just turned.
Check the outer outline first: a 45 degree turn changes a square outline into a diamond outline.
Then check the inner pattern is not mirrored or reordered.
Only figure Q passes both checks, so the correct answer is option (B).
